Well seeing as how Dren's RP closed, I may have to dip into this one!!

As to who you can RP, is it going to be limited in anyway (anyway sensible that is), or is it basically take a position and run with it?

We actually have a team working to clean the rp up, redo it, add some deep lore, and release a sign-up thread within the week. To answer your question, we're allowing for members to join in as just about anyone. If you check the factions list Darkom posted up on this page, you can see the groups you'll be allowed to run with. I'm working with the Freedom Fighters if Josh allows it.

Actually, I'm not too sure what's going on as of right now. Darkom, Gallowglass, and Josh are doing all the work. haha.

It is actually called "The greybeards" or "tongues" As it is referred to in the PGTTE.

Now, you also have Windhelm, White Run, Dawnstar, and some others in Skyrim. I'd actually have 3 Nordic factions which wouldn't really be split too much, one with Solitude and Dawnstar linked through marriage (which is real lore), with Markarth and Falkreath guarding against the Ra Gada. This side would be with the Empire, but not as close.

Then Windhelm and Riften would have bad relations with the Dunmer, and not be as close to the empire.

Everyone else would be with White Run, and be total Empire. Just a suggestion though. Do it the way you want to do it.

I guess I'll take the Ra Gada instead. I don't want to be an elf, nor an Imperial. So, Ra Gada for me. (Which means Ansei, Cannons, Lutemonsters, and all that good stuff for you sneaky elves and imperials WHO DARE cross into the borders of Skaven and into the kingdom of Sentinel...(And I may have a navy...)

I agree with Darkom. Solitude is the pinnacle of Skyrim. Also, not sure if you knew about them Darkom, but deep in the mountains of Skyrim there are powerful Nords known as Mouths. They have the power to speak destruction, demoralize enemy troops, or call beasts of war to aid them. I read this a long time ago whilst playing Morrowind. I figured it'd make for an excellent addition to the rp. The Nord's secret weapon. Also, I'd like to speak with Josh about running the Freedom Fighters...

Sounds good, I was aware of those guys, but figured they were almost extinct.

The Freedom Fighters are basically a simple terrorist faction who were designed for less politically inclined players, who will then be doing more mission oriented things, in a more action packed setting. I'm working out the lore and plot soon, and should be up Tuesday ;)

Sounds good! It will be limited to a high ranking member of any of those political factions (you can go into specifics with the countries, as they are still separate lands), or to a Freedom Fighter. That said, you still have a large realm of creativity, and please run a character by me, Wooly, or Dren (or Josh, whom I would still like to run by with one of us) before posting it in the sign up thread, not this one.

:D I am indeed deep into this, and am finishing up, as I have said. Please be patient ;)

Sounds like you know a lot about Nordic politics (something I am ignorant of). If you would like to run any ideas by me, and correct me if I do anything completely messed up without reason, I would appreciate it.


Thanks everyone, I'll do my best to rationalize everything while still maintaining RP fun, along with some good lore.

Of course, of course! Will multiple characters be accepted, if we need more spots filled out?

You are absolutely right Darkom. I'm going to use the political prowess I had intended to use on Tamriel Today, on Josh's rp. As for titles, I'm scraping the back of my mind for something colorful.

Possible titles:

The Holocaust of Hate
The Power and the Glory
The Devil's Playground
Trial By Fire
(I'd like to offer the title of an rp I tried a while ago that I think would fit this beautifully. Being political and war)
It was called Of Blood and Quill.
The Right Hand and the Men of Undoing
Great Rage of Tamriel
To Give and Take
When the Bad Man Comes
Madness of Tamriel

That's all I've got for now.

Wait, The Age of Undoing.

Ok that's all I can think of.

Blade, we will wait until we see how many players we get, but the chances are good for having multiple characters. I have already staked claim on the Nerevarine and at least a high ranking member of the Dragon's Claw.

Nice titles, Dren, I think "Of Blood and Quill" is the best out of those. I edited the timeline some, but it still needs work. I'll see you all tomorrow :snoring:

Yes, Morrowind will have become allies with Cyrodiil, due in a large part to the new leader, Nerevarine Baenius (Imperial), who we will have more information on later.

Here are the major factions (all of which were listed in the timeline post):
The United North Eastern Empire (Cyrodiil, Morrowind, and Skyrim)
The Western Elven Alliance (Summerset Isles and Valenwood)
The Republic of Illiac (High Rock and Hammerfell)
The Southern State of Tamriel (Elsweyr and Argonia)
And the Freedom Fighters are a terrorist group working within the UNEE to take out the Empire

Thanks for the list of factions but which one is the Empire under?

Indeed they will be in I see no reason why not! And lets speak Dren!

Glad to have another member!

Yes lets work on it! And yeah a whole bunch of people are doing this with me! Lol! This RP is going to be fun!

********

Just incase there is any confusion here are the alliances, The Imperials are with the Nords, Dunmers and Bosmer. And the Redguards and Bretons are neuatrel. As for the other races those are the ones the Emperor is slaving and killing. And yes I know the Dunmers and Bosmer are both elves so you are probably wondering why the Emperor is working for them, well all will be explained.

Now that Dren's is done, I'm in for whichever faction Morrowind is on. I am going to join them being the character I was going to be in Dren's. If its ok, Josh :)

Name: Korvinus Broodikus
Race: Dunmer
Gender: Male
Age: 473 (Sustained by necromancy)
Alignment: Lawful Evil (You can't magically tell he is evil)
Birthsign: The Mage

Class: Necromancer
Class Description: Controls the dead, by manipulating their life force and body for his own experiments and power.
Skills: Conjuration, Destruction, Unarmored, Mysticism, Alteration, Restoration, Alchemy.
Faction: House Telvanni
Rank: Master (Member of Telvanni Council)

Armor/Clothing: Black Robe (Makes comprehending magical formulas easier), Black Gloves (Makes summoning the dead easier), Black Boots (Makes healing easier), Black Pants (Makes using the school of mysticism easier), Black Shirt (Makes using the school of destruction easier), Black Amulet (Makes Dodging Easier).
Weapons: Ebony Staff (Makes using all schools of magic easier)
Food/Drink: Two bottles of flin, one loaf of bread, one jar of scrib jelly
Misc.: Spellbook, Journal, Scrolls

Biography: Born in Morrowind, he was always taught that necromancy was evil. His lust for knowledge drove him towards seeking it. Years of study, years of solitude, years of practice are in his past. He knows many secrets of Tamriel, most shall never find out. He has figured out formulas for spells so complex that they could alter reality in ways those around him cannot even begin to understand. He joined House Telvanni about three-hundred years ago, and is quite content on the council.

As a child he was naturally ambitious, always looking for something new to explore. One day he left home in search of new places, he left for the Summerset Isles. When he got there he studied with Sload on necromancy, when he left he had pledged himself to the arts some consider "evil." After he left the isles he travelled to Akavir for a decade, learning about the dragons, the snake-men, and all sorts of things. He views knowledge more valuable than all the septims in the world, and believes sharing it with others is like throwing away money.

After he left Akavir he went to Cyrodiil, before Talos reshaped it. He spent years reading from the imperial library, seeking anything having to do with magic, daedra, the undead, or even history. He began his study on the daedric princes in his second century, learning all he could on all of them, especially Haermaeus Mora. For years he tried to enter Mora's realm, but always failed, never succeeding, he gave up and stuck to the thing he did best, learning from the mortals. One of the view things that has evaded him is becoming a lich, but in time he will succeed...

Now he is in this political madness, he watched the Eternal Champion perform his quests, the Hero of Daggerfall, deliver the Numidian, the Nerevarine end Dagoth Ur's life, and the Champion of Cyrodiil fight off the daedra, now it would be his turn to be a hero... Or a villain...

'Fraid not top. I understand we're anxious to begin, but we still need to hash out some of the lore and develop a reasonable character sheet template. I was thinking as long as the players send in cs' with plenty of depth and info we'll pretty much be lenient in how they look.

Just be sure to tell us who your character is aligned with. And I can't stress this enough people; please put plenty of detail into your bio's. There should be enough lore present, provided by Darkom(Talos bless him), to have a lenthy bio. If building a character sheet is challenging, feel free to ask Josh, Darkom, Wooly or myself, to take a look at it. We will gladly oblige.
